8. Nigella Lawson ($15 million)
Nigella Lawson is like the goddess of home cooking. Her look combined with her soothing voice is just the tip of the iceberg of why she is one of the top earners in culinary business. For your information, she is also one of the hottest widows out there.
She is now currently hosting her own Simply Nigella. Before that, she starred Nigella Feasts, Nigella Express, Nigellissima, and The Taste. That is a lot of Nigella! And a lot of shows to cash in her $15 million of net worth.
She is also a world renowned author. Her book titled How to be a Domestic Goddess won the British Book Award for Author of the Year.
However, Nigella does not like the title “celebrity chef”. The fact that she is not a trained chef, she admits that she cooks only for enjoyment as she finds it therapeutic. This is reflected on her simple and comforting style of cooking.
